Renovation update.

This week has been slightly chaotic as we moved out of the house to let the painters come in and do their stuff.

We lived 4 days in the house last week with the floors being done. It was probably more disruptive than we planned (isn't is always?!) but the end result is sooo worth it.

I am in love with the floors! I can't wait to get back into the house and lovingly clean the floors and watch them sit there all pretty :) I think once the walls are white the place is going to pop and I think it will give the house a whole new look.

I am also looking forward to moving the furniture around and "styling" up the space. My favourite part :)

We have only moved about 20 mins away up the road but I can't believe how much I rely on being 5 minutes away from the boys schools, the shops, the post office etc! I really do utilise my local shops. Finn and Jasper have been late a few times this week (whoops!) and Finn has been buying his lunch all week at school.

Also we don't have much internet connection where we are and it is so frustrating!! So I haven't been around much but hopefully next week I can share with you the completed floors & walls.

Wow what a transformation your floors look amazing. If I can offer some advice - be really careful when moving furniture the last thing you want to do is scratch those beautiful floors, be sure to pick up don't drag and put pads and rugs under everything! Coming from someone who restored my floors myself (well ok the Mr did!), by hand, with a paint brush in some rooms you really want to cry when they scratch! Oh and no heels rule for the ladies - shoes off :)

Ooo how exciting Simone! It is looking fabulous so far, those floors are just divine. That is the one thing that kind of scares me about doing reno's... having to relocate for a bit to get it all done, such a hassle. But you're right, it will be so worth it when you're back in there stylin' that pad. Can't wait to see more of it all xo

There’s beauty in this chaos. Just look at those sleek floors and walls! This new look you were planning to give to your new house will be incredible. So, how did the renovation go? I hope you achieved that look you wanted for your house. Have a great day!
